Method
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large skillet, brown the ground beef over medium heat. Break it apart as it cooks. Once nicely browned, drain off any excess grease, then add 1 cup of water and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and let it simmer until the liquid is almost gone, about 5–7 minutes.
- While that’s simmering, heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a separate skillet over medium heat. Fry the tortillas until crispy and golden brown, about 3–4 minutes each. If they start to stick, add a little more oil.
- Warm up the refried beans until they’re spreadable. Take 4 tortillas and spread a nice layer of beans over each, followed by the browned beef.
- On the remaining 4 tortillas, drizzle 2 tablespoons of enchilada sauce each, then top with a hearty sprinkle of ½ cup cheese.
- Carefully stack the bean-beef tortillas on top of the cheese-sauce tortillas to form pizzas.
- Bake on the prepared baking sheet for 8–10 minutes, until the cheese is bubbly.
- Serve topped with green onions and diced tomatoes for that fresh crunch.
Notes
Pro Tips: Ensure tortillas are crispy and consider additional cheese for richness. Let beef simmer until almost dry for optimal flavor. Common mistakes include overcrowding the pan and using too much oil.
